Arthur Schopenhauer quote Without books the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are the engines of change, windows on the world, 'Lighthouses' as the poet said 'erected in the sea of time.' They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print.
Arthur Schopenhauer quote With people of limited ability modesty is merely honesty. But with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy.
